Happy Sunday everyone! I don't normally post on Sunday, except for my Creative Corner linky party on Sunday night... HOWEVER, as the title says... OH deer, it's almost Christmas! So, if you're like me and you enjoy making some homemade ornaments, you'll love this easy as pie Deer Ornament Tutorial! PLUS, as a HUGE bonus... you have a chance to win a Trans Pro Mini Heat Press ($199 Value!).

A huge thanks to Pro World for suppling me with a holiday package of Siser Strip Flocked Heat Transfer Vinyl and regular Siser EasyWeed in Black to come up with a holiday craft. They are also sponsoring the Heat Transfer Giveaway. I have been using Pro World for all of my vinyl needs for my Silhouette machine and I was thoroughly impressed by the flocked heat transfer vinyl that they sent me to try out!


Deer Ornament Tutorial

You'll need vinyl, fabric and small embroidery hoops. You could also use mason jar lids instead of embroidery hoops. (Not pictured: you may want some thin ribbon to hang the ornament with and pom poms to decorate the outside of the embroidery hoop.)

I went into the Silhouette store and found a design with 3 different deer.

You will want to go to Object>Mirror>Flip Horizontally since you are ironing these onto fabric. In my Cut Settings, I had Cut Edge and Heat Transfer Material Flocked selected. I had to increase my blade to a 6 (it says to do 4) and then I was set to cut my designs! When loading your vinyl into your machine, make sure that the dull side is face up.

After my Silhouette machine cut out the design, I peeled away the vinyl around it.

Place your vinyl on top of your fabric and cover it with a thin piece of fabric. Press your iron down on top. Once it has adhered to the fabric, pull the clear backing sheet off and you'll have your design on your fabric!


OrnamentsMake7
Place fabric inside your embroidery hoop and trim the edges.


OrnamentsMake9
I used some thin ribbon to make a hanger for each of the ornaments.


OrnamentsMake10
You can also hot glue pom poms around the outside of the embroidery hoop.

These pom poms really worked great on the fabrics that were solid with gold flecks.

And, that's it! I had so much fun making these and I had a lot of the supplies already at home.

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
